Pros

I enjoyed some of my coworkers in the contact center. If their description of the job during the interview held true, I would have never left. Buyer beware.

Cons

By far, the most disorganized place I've ever been employed. There is a complete lack of leadership beyond team leaders/frontline managers. The majority of "veteran" contact center employees were employed less than 6 months with roughly 2 weeks of training. I was hired as a frontline manager. I was in the building for over 2 weeks before my direct department manager made contact with me. That contact was by simple luck because she happened to walk by me on the floor and remembered interviewing me but had no clue I accepted their offer. During my 6 months, I had 2 conversations with manager and one of which was a sort of exit interrogation. There was a multitude of changes that were made in my 6 months with the company. All of the changes made had a detrimental affect on customers and employees alike.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
